@DefineStatutory: Are you the guy that posts on all the help forums that people are posting in the wrong forum? When someone asks what time it is do you say it's time to get a watch?

@RDRR: I'm just a poor boy. I need no sympathy.

@Dabamasha: I think he is saying that the effects the Walkman had on us will live on. That is kinda what the article is about.

I lived in Buffalo as a kid and I remember passing the steel factories on our way into the city. The smell was terrible. You could smell it at least a mile away. This whole city must stink. Gah.

@Gruvnor: So what is the alternative?

@stre: See the problem there is, you don't know the road is empty. If you're not paying attention, some kid on his paper route is going to get killed. A lot of fatal accidents I see on the news seem to occur in "the wee hours of the morning".

The only problem I ever had with the ending was if George is a famous author now, why do they live in that same crappy house?

I ate 7 McRibs yesterday. I am sweating BBQ sauce. I need to live in a place like San Francisco. Please, save me from myself! I can't be allowed to make my own decisions!!

The desktop and OS wars are irrevelent in the business world, Microsoft has won. End of story. Computer technology effects more than the business world. The war now is over what we use at home.

@i2hellfire: Are you saying Apple isn't relevent in a tech blog? Do you want more articles about breathalyzer keychains?

@Ryan Tate: I am going to eat two McRibs today. One for me and one for you.

It takes three NASA engineers to hit the snooze button on that thing.

@mesosuchus: Welcome to Gizmodo! You must be new because large words are strictly banned from this site!

@SolCross: Vista? Wazzat?

@richterbelmont: Obviously you don't need a netbook because you have a laptop. I think it's safe to assume that most people own either a netbook or a laptop. I'm sure the gadget lovers on this site own both, but they use one or the other.

From Wikipedia: "Netbooks are a category of small, lightweight, and inexpensive laptop computers." Netbooks "omitted certain features (e.g., the optical drive), featured smaller screens and keyboards, and offered reduced specification and computing power." [en.wikipedia.org]

I'm sure they are all crying into their brandy snifters and wiping their tears with $20 bills. Is this the same group of tech people that held an illegal meeting of angel investors?

Even with that hat on she said yes? He must be a very charming dude.
